We are very sure that Mr. Smith: will be elected if he-carries' DuPage County with a sufficiently large majority. The way to do this is for every voter to "plump” three votes for him. Being a DuPago. man and the only one in the rau- from present appearances, he shouhl re- ceive the united support of the coun- ty. Delicious Bread, Rolls, Cakes and Pics for every occasion. M.
